Due to various bugs/issues

Shares

Seems Android manufacturers are running into trouble with their Android 7.0 Nougat updates. HTC halted the rollout of the Nougat update for the HTC 10 just weeks after it started seeding to select smartphones in the USA.

Now Samsung is following suit and has paused the rollout of the Nougat update for the Galaxy S7 / S7Edge due to various bugs/issues. Moreover, it has also been reported that the S7 Edge has received another beta update in China despite the fact that the Nougat beta program ended last month.

This seems to confirm the fact that Samsung found some bugs in the final release of the update and is now trying to rectify the same. This latest beta is said to bring stability and performance improvements as well as a new power saving mode.
